Giobia are an excellent psychedelic
rock band from Italy. This release came
out just before the bands small spring-summer tour and the release of their
excellent Live Freak LP. It features one new song called What have you Done and
a cover of the Hawkwind classic, Silver Machine. What have you Done is a true
space rocker with a high energy, cool spacey electronics and effected vocals.
One of the more heavy Giobia tracks that I have heard. Silver Machine features
Shazzula Vultura on vocals. The main
part of the song is played very close to Hawkwind but I love what they did with
the middle part with a lot of trippy keyboards and later a nice guitar solo.
Pretty psychedelic stuff! It has a very
special sound production as well. Great 7” and very cool sleeve with a collage
of old school space and sci fi images.
The 7” is dedicated to Lemmy.
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
